What? Why wouldn't drag on water exist? hah.

I thought they didn't get any T:V. That they only purchased the name and T2 coding or something along those lines.

Did they somehow get code from multiple owners?

What properties of water would create drag on rubber soled ski boots that don't also exist over terra firma?

They have to get skiing right.

Otherwise it's just another FPS.

Magic. Magic properties.

Also, you can't bounce on top, you sink in.

Although by those rights you shouldn't ski the same on snow maps because you would sink in some.

honestly, I'd prefer if you took that down. I have a relationship with some of their developers, and its not that I'm afraid they'll see it but I'd prefer it's not on their forums.

fishstix does this have regenerating health or were those health packs?

Quote is up without your name attached anywhere. Didn't want to rat you out that badly.

Since you're the only voice of reason when it comes to skiing I thought it important to bring up.

I haven't spent 10 minutes on those forums yet lol

Now the big question: Did they remake Anthill? Best tribes map ever.

i think they really need to get SOMETHING right before they go on about remaking maps and such.

Health regen, based on time after not getting hit. Nothing to do with gens.

If you have the flag, you do not receive healing based on time. Drop the flag, and you can.

Can you "strafe" mid-air without jetting? This was a gigantic difference between T:V and Legions compared to T1.

I'm still not a fan of auto health regen in a tribes game. Sometimes battles can go on for a couple minutes, unlike most other FPS games where everything is so close the fight is over in under 1 minute.

Any idea how long you have to go with taking 0 damage for it to kick in?
